In my kitchen, summer is a time for easy meals. I tend to do more assembling of healthy ingredients than actually full-out baking and cooking.
Here are 5 recipes that I whip up in a snap for treats and snacks, and one luscious summer “coffee” drink that will help you ease away from the sugary iced-coffee habit that can be so alluring when it’s hot outside.
- Pizza Bagel – super easy family lunch
- Chickpea of the Sea – great spread, dip or sandwich filler
- Simple Tomato & Jicama Salad – SO refreshing and delish!
- Chia Seed Pudding – I make this once a week!
- Healthy Blueberry Cream Pie – You gotta try this one to believe it!
- Dandy Hemp Supreme – It’s Healthy Iced coffee!
Enjoy!
